Really recommend you do do a bit of reading at least, Spencer.
From my late 20s through to about 35, I read and read. I tried to cover lots of stuff, it was heavy going and it required some dedication. Its not about being a know it all, it's about getting a reasonably solid grounding in the subject.
I still read, just at a slower pace these days.
For example, you say you've been 'seriously fieldwalking' but, i'm not sure that you know what fieldwalking is.

re the iron age dog kennels, did you find a pile of IA dog shit perhaps?
Enthusiasm is great of course. But do try to gain at least a little bit of understanding. You might even enjoy it!
Fieldwalking is one of the most tedious and boring archaeological activities .
Walking about in fields with or without purpose is entirely different .
